My partner in crime is a boiler operator and baby sits a natural gas-fired turbine-generator(5-MW),which utilizes waste heat to operate absorption cycle chillers for space cooling.The system uses Lithium Bromide as the working medium,and I understand that it will operate at temps as low as 210-degree F.
